SCAA Archival News

The mission of the SCAA is:

Through leadership, support, education and promotion, the SCAA fosters the
development, cooperation and advancement of Saskatchewan’s archives and
archivists.

The SCAA would like to extend congratulations to our first three recipients of the SCAA's Volunteer Recognition Award to May P. Chan of the Regina Public Library, Frank Korvemaker, retired from the Saskatchewan Archives Board and The Bushwakker Brewpub. Thank you all for your years service and volunteer support of SCAA and it's events.

The Saskatchewan Council for Archives and Archivists (SCAA) represents the Saskatchewan archival community in the Canadian archival system, and is responsible for developing a cooperative and successful archival network in Saskatchewan, encouraging the establishment of new archives in Saskatchewan, promoting and developing standard archival policies and practices, and promoting public understanding and use of archives and historical resources in Saskatchewan. SCAA adheres to the definitions set forth in the Canadian Council of Archives (CCA) Constitutions and Bylaws when determining institutional membership, http://www.cdncouncilarchives.ca/bylaw.html#Anchor-2.1.

Thanks to the efforts of Editor Stevie Horn,
with the help of the SCAA Communications Committee and other
contributors, the SCAA is pleased to announce the return of the SCAA
Newsletter, that is available for download here.

The SCAA newsletter is a publication that is sent electronically to the public.
Along with messages from the SCAA's executive and profiles of both
individual members and institutional members, this newsletter highlights
activities and events held by those involved with SCAA, such as, but
not limited to, Archives Week, Culture Days, open houses and workshops.

The
Communications Committee of the SCAA is continuing to look for
material, from any member archives, be it a profile of a great
volunteer, a story of a certain collection in your institution or maybe a
project completed by your archives that deals with Saskatchewan history
or its promotion.

Based on letters from Lloydminster pioneer and Barr Colonist, Alice Rendell
